Posters: Dive into the Heart of Innovation
This year’s poster session offers a unique opportunity to explore a wide range of technical advances and real-world applications developed within IPCEI projects. Attendees will discover:
- New approaches to sensor interface IP, with IC’ALPS presenting the XT4SENS project, which outlines a path for designing innovative IP blocks tailored to XFAB’s XT018/XT011 process nodes.
- Next-gen optical hardware technologies, with WOOPTIX showcasing developments that push the boundaries of imaging systems through their HW Tech platform.
- Artificial intelligence in analog chip design, with ANIAH demonstrating how AI is being used to automate and optimize traditionally manual and complex analog design processes.
- Smart automation in semiconductor fabs, through a use case from ATG Technologies, where autonomous mobile robots are deployed to enhance manufacturing efficiency and operational agility.
These posters will be displayed throughout the networking sessions and the evening walking dinner, offering direct access to project contributors and facilitating in-depth discussions in an informal and collaborative atmosphere.
Additional poster slots are still available! Don’t miss this chance to showcase your work to key players in the European microelectronics ecosystem.
Call for Contributions
We still have a few open presentation slots (8–10 min each) during the Workstream Highlights session:
